Top-35 Dynasty Wide Receivers

Jayden Reed (WR – Green Bay Packers) | Jordan Addison (WR – Minnesota Vikings) | Josh Downs (WR – Indianapolis Colts) | Dontayvion Wicks (WR – Green Bay Packers)

The next tier we need to discuss is the wide receivers in the 2023 class who showed elite wide receiver traits but aren’t likely to see the reliable usage that we like to see from our top 25 pass catchers. I refer to this group as the “Route Runners.” Each player in this tier showed incredible prowess as a route technician, which means they will be earning playing time more often than not. While they may not be game-breaking talents like Nacua, these are the values at wide receiver that fantasy managers should be buying to help them with the long grind of a fantasy season.

Both Packers WRs hold tremendous upside, with questions about what Christian Watson can do in the long term. If I were trying to acquire one player at their current acquisition cost for the most significant value increase, it would be Dontayvion Wicks. He could emerge as the true Alpha for Green Bay in year No. 2.
